Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for

Warm days tell US of approaching
Summer, and an article that takes US

A Pretty Kettle Of Fish
.l66eciHe Messenger.

Here now is pretty kettle cf
fish. The question of license or no
license in Oconee county was recent
ly submitted to the voters Of that
county, and . majority voted in favor
Of license. Seneca City, town in
that county, had previously, by an
Act of the Legislature, been de-
prived Of the right to sell spiFituous
liquors: i is nog contepded that
submitting the que tion to the voters
Of the WHOLE county did away with
this special Legislation, and an effort
is being made to open up bar.rooms
in that town. The Supreme Court
will hayc to decide the question, but
it strikes US that it is poor rule
that don't work both ways.

Justice Woods Successor.
Washingon Critic.

There is great deal of specula-
ton as to who is to be appointed to
the vacancy on the Supreme bench
caused by Justice Woods death.
Persons who claim to know say that
the President will unquestionably
make the appointment from the
South-that he is convinced Of the
justice and propriety of limiting his
CHOICE ta the Southern States of the
Circuit over which Justice Woods
presided. Neither Arkansas nor Vir-
ginia being included within the cir
cult, the range of prominent candi-
dates eligible if this rule is to be
followed is not very large: Senator
Gibson of Louisiana is mentioned
by some of the prophets as the lead
ing and representative Southern law
yer within the circuit who would
most desire and best deserve the ap-
pointment, and whose loyalty and
friendship for the President are un-
questioned. Secretary Lamar, Sen
ator George, Judge Edmund V. Pet
tis of Alabama and ex:CongTessman
Hammand of Georgia, man Of
splendid judicial equipment, are also
mentioned. Outside of the circuit
limits Hon. ]. Randolph Tucker Of
Virginia is by far the most promi-
nent Southern candidate for the
place, sad Of high legal attachments.
Ex-Governor Hoadley> Secretary Bay
ard and Secretary Endicott are also
discussed in connection with the
honor.

O'Brien, however. was safely led
away by c. eastman, an official of
the Crown land department, and
reached his hotel in safety. D. P.
Cahill was knocked down and re-
ceiyed two dangerous cuts from
broken bottles, and more than q score
of other persons were more or less
severely injured. The mob now
seemed satisfied. Mr.. Lalor's store
was completely wrecked and several
hundred dollars worth Of his prop

men appeared, making four in ali, in
the presence Of crowd of fully one
thousand rioters, who had possession
of the streets for at least half an
hour, throwing bricks and cobble-
stones at group of unarmed men.
Treasurer Teepy, of the local
branch League, sent out the following
telegram to leaders Of the League in
New York and Chicago:
"O'Brien mobbed in the of streets
of Toronto tonight by Orangemen.
J. NJ. Wall, of the New York Tribune,
seriously wounded. Police Sergeant
Adsir got cut in the head, and when
his three comrades saw this they
moved away TO respectful distance
and let the mob do as they please.
Up to midnight the neighborhood of
the Rossin House was filled with a
mob who groaned and yelled to their
hearts content, but as there was not
at any time an opposing crowd, the
rioters grew tired and hoarse, and
began to abuse each other and fight
among themselves, and dispersed at
last with the cries of Hang O'Brien"
Away with the traitors!' and God
save the Queen!'
Mr.. O'Brien said to an Associated
Press representative; :'Lansdowue
has now done his worst. His police
men absolutely surrendered US to the
mob, and if We had not taken refuge
in the bicycle shop we would have
been killed."

Before I left Carolina, twelve or

Laurens Counties of this Stete, l re-
member to have seen the immense
waste Of fruit, principally of peaches,
in our own and IN our neighbors'
orchards, and since my experiences
throughout California and the Pacific
coast Of the uses to which this other
wise waste is adapted, I have Won
dered that some such enterprise as
seems now to have awakened public
lethargy in this regard had not been
thought of and adopted before.

ployed had capacity of 500 cases
Of 4 dozen tins per case per diem,

capacity Of two months work. We
employed from $50 to 200 Indians,
Sseen and women, during the season,
and from Is to 100 Cinnamon, as can
makers and soIderers, imported for
the season. The pay of the Indian
men was from s26 to s35 per month,

if the prime and essential condition
arising from no lack of material to

would be one of great profit.

A Terrible 4 ssassI ma ton.

Yazoo Herald From the sur
roundings and facts as given in. it
looks as though terrible assassina-
ton had been carried out-a murder
that should result in the punishment
of all connected with it. Col. Ham
ilton states positively that Gambrell
fred the first shot, but this is repealed
by all the circumstances. Gambrell
was an honorable and brave young
man. Rash and impetuous, his zeal
was not always tempered with dis
erection, and we thought he frequent
ly allowed his convictions to carry
him too far. But we believe that he
was honest in what he stated and his
greatest fault was Quixotism. Il his
controversies with Col. Hamilton he
was severe in his language and de.
nunciation, and had Col. Hamilton
met him in a manly way Immediately
after the article OF the 23d aud in
open, honorable combat even put him
to death, he would have found many
to sympathize with him. But the
facts as presented and the verdict of
the coroner's jury point to different
tale, and we hope justice will be fully
melted out.

1t is common remark in Jackson,
by some Of the best and most dis
interested people, that the proceed.
ings of the coroner's inquest, or
rather the manner in which it was
conducted, was more on the order of
prosecution against Col. Hamilton,
than fair investigation to get all
the facts. This we can say, that an
overwhelming majority of the best
and most reliable people of Jackson
believe that Col. Hamilton had ample
cause in thus fighting for his lite and
character; and we believe, when the
case gets before a higher tribunal,
he will be triumphantly acquitted.

The As.assination Of Gamsrell,

Sword and Shield: This paper
will not now undertake to discuss the
causes of the trouble between j. S.
Hamilton and the editor. The occa-
sion of it was the republication of
charges made from time to time by
the press and legislative committee.
The real causes lie deeper, and will
be fully exposed to the public at the
proper time by one who knows the
purposes and plans of the dead edi-
tor. 1t may suffice now to say that
Roderick ID. Gambrell was fighting
one of the corruptest combinations
that ever imperiled the safety of a
city and State. His blows dealt in
cessantly around the whole circle of
bad influences had weakened the
triple alliance of evil forces. No
man had done so much to force the
fighting against the saloons of Jack
son. No one had done SO much to
take away their supports. Affairs had
reached point when it was clear that
either he must go or the corruptors
OF society must 60. They elected to
send him out at the points OF their
pistols into eternity. This is certain,
the editor believed every word he
wrote about Hamilton, and the best
people there believe it. And what
is more, he was prepared with proof
to make good his words. For one
thing he was not prepared, and that
was to remain silent in the face of
known wrongs. He had this standard
erected high and would never lower
it. The public will know the truth
of Hamilton S record. If these things
are true there was need Of man to
say them and to keep the public ad-
yised of one of the shrewdest, mos
dangerous men who ever had hand
in their affairs.
